Things to note as you peruse these pictures:1) Dave is afraid of snakes2) the snake's name is Guster3) the owner of the snake is a friend of ours who also has 2 little girls who were both shouting "I want to hold Guster!" and "put the snake around MY neck now!"4) right after I took these pictures, Guster decided to have some fun with Dave and tighten quickly around his neck, making him panic and think that his life had abruptly come to an end5) Dave's reaction sent the little girls into fits of laughter
